NARROW WAY-2

Text: Matthew 7:13

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Yesterday, we looked at one of the three major features of a narrow way, today,we shall be looking at the second one.

Jesus once said in Matthew 18;3 that  unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

The way that leads to life is narrow, hence it can only take people that are child-like at heart. A child is not as proud as as an adult. A child is humble and that's the reason the narrow way can take him.
Jesus said, *"...whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:4)*.

The narrow way does not look attractive. It is the humble way for humble people. So, if you are going to travel on the narrow way, you must be converted and become like a child.

Jessu also said that  unless you are *converted* and *become* as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.(Matthew 18:3).

Every user of the narrow way are people that have experienced conversion and have become as little children .

The reason for conversion as unto a Little  child is because such does not respond to the pull of temptation like an adult. A little child has no anxiety, no worries, no unforgiveness, no hate. He simply loves everyone,even his enemies- he does not even know he has one. A little child simply lives in trust and under the shadow of his parents. A little child  does the will of his parents 100 percent. He wholly depends on his parents for everything. These qualities of a little child are what qualifies you for the narrow way.

A little child is actually one whose realities are found  1 Corinthians 13. He simply walks in love!

 *BIBLE READING* 
:
1 Corinthians 13:1-8.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* :

Father, help me to find the narrow way (Jesus Christ), and never to depart from Him in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
